The man has little real knowledge of the game. Sorry, as great as Jim Brown may have been, the greatest lax player of the 20th century was probably Jim Thorpe. Yeah, the same Jim Thorpe that put the NFL on the map. Seems as though he had time to do both, maybe Jim Brown wasn't quite as good as advertized (just giving him a hard time).
This writer is probably someone who wants co-ed football, with no tackling.
Lax is poised to take hockey's place, if the NHL can't get its act together. They have been poised for a couple of years, and they are beginning to get the notariety to make it happen. I was personally hoping that it was the NBA that tanked due to labor disputes and stupid, hooligan players, but the NHL may do it first. We'll see. Here's to hoping that there is room for a fifth major sport, trusting that hockey makes it back. That is, unless the NBA would like to back out of the national spotlight and keep it at four major sports ...

Does Rudy post under two different names now?

I have a friend who works at Skywalker Ranch for ILM. He is one of the main artists that does the concept work for Lucas on the SW films. There is a book coming out in April called Visionaries that are the main eight artist doing some concept work that fills in background on the whole SW universe.
Anyway, Alex was the supervisor for all of Yoda's CG artwork in EP II. While I know some people weren't impressed with the whirling dervish yoda in his fight with Dooku (that is the story that Lucas wanted), the seemlessness of the animation was some of the best we have ever seen. This time around, Alex was one of the main supervisors on the opening space battle, which is supposed to be the grandest space sequence ever filmed.

Hey Steve, can you do the robot, that would be the bomb!

Labs are AWESOME -- had one from puppy 'til death
Now we have a StBernard -- our St. is even better than the lab was. The best part is that they don't eat anymore than the lab because she is less active during indoor time. When we take her out, she's just as active, but then she crashes inside. Use her for a TV pillow, etc. And we can't roughhouse with the kids like we used to. She won't allow it!

I've been giving since I was eligible. I'm now almost 33 and I'm really close to closing out gallon #5. I think three pints -- although I'm giving thought to the apheristic (sp?) donation where they take double the normal volume of just the red blood cells and return the plasma, whites, and platletes. You get double value on your card for that, but can only do it every 112 days instead of 56.

Is this not an OT post? ah, the insane cyclical nature of such an idea of posting an OT thread aimed at removing OT threads ...

If I lived in the Buffalo area (not 3 hours south) and / or wasn't a pastor, I would be there. The Bills are the only value left in the NFL -- ticket price value, I mean.

Do you hear what you just said? ANY running back is available ... Travis is not even available ... even if given permission
One of the keys to knowing if you're on a crusade is when you start making contradictory statements to cover your other statements.

As bad as Carl Mauck was as a coach, at least he had some fire in his belly ...
and quite a belly it was.
He was the anti-Greggo in terms of emotion and fire -- at least you could tell he didn't like losing.

Assistants are also fair game -- I know that they don't get as much press, but we've had some bad position coaches & coordinators.
You might have to put down several as they were bad for differing reasons and you can't just narrow it down.
I'll weigh in my thoughts after a while if this thread generates any discussion.

What about that great leftie, David Humm?
Oh, you said "season" that would entail playing, right?

I've seen a few posts recently about WM leading the league (or at least being high in the rankings) for zero and negative rushes. Is this a concern?
Sure, it'd be a concern if he were falling down, tripping over yardlines, bumping into the QB ...
But Barry Sanders consistently lead the league in negative rushes -- we all know how that turned out. He did so because he was always behind a struggling line, but he always was near the top of the league at the end of the year and always had a high per carry average.
Willis will be the same except the line in Buffalo is improving. The holes will open. And even though WM will still get dropped behind the line a bit, that's because he's taking chances and will be busting the 15-50 yarders with some regularity.

I don't want THen here as a backup -- he could actually get in a game and cause a season ending sack to our young QB, not because JPL is injury prone, but because THen is that bad at picking up blitzes.

remember Lenny said that by using the numbers, Hurley had opened "the box" -- but Lenny's friend's wife only knew that they heard the numbers on a transmission.

Drs. think Player are overweight
Did anyone else see this? Wow, players are getting big ... how long and how much did they spend to come to that conclusion?
Probably paid for by my insurance company, and they crunched the numbers at some secluded resort in St. Thomas.
The NFL is considering expanding instant replay

What I have been wanting to change in the replay area in regards to the fumble is:
If a fumble is recovered before the whistle sounds, it can change possession. So many times that a ref blows a play dead is the whistle coming a second or two after the "tackle". Allowing the players to recover a loose ball in the split seconds therein would provide for a more accurate call. They cannot be talking about continuing play after a whistle. That would be ridiculous.
For example, Nate Clements tackles David Givens after Givens catches the ball. As Givens is falling to the ground, NC knocks the ball out just before Givens hits the ground. The ball takes a fortuitous bounce off the ground directly into NC's hands as they both land. Unfortunately, the back judge was on the wrong side of the action and raises his whistle and blows the play dead. In 2004, the ball is a catch and stays in possession of the Paytoilets. Our only replay recourse is to review, hoping that there was no possession with a football move to indicate an incomplete pass. Hopefully, in 2005, the replay can look and see that NC stripped the ball and recovered before the 80 year old back judge could get enough wind to blow the whistle.
Really, this is common sense, if the fumble is caused and recovered before the whistle, it is a fumble -- regardless of what the ref was intending by blowing the whistle.
